Ruby Gregory finally gathered up the courage to speak again, “Mr. Burton, the incident with Mr. Robbins this afternoon was all my fault. Madeleine was afraid…

In fact, regardless of whether Madeleine helped her or not, Steve Burton would have scolded her like that.

Ruby Gregory pressed her lips together tightly, lowered her eyelids, and said softly, “Madeleine was afraid that you would make things difficult for me, so she said it was her idea. Therefore, please don’t let her go abroad. The

Mid-Autumn Festival is coming up soon…”

At this point, Ruby’s eyes became somewhat unfocused.

Being alone abroad during Chinese New Year and Mid -Autumn Festival, which are times for reunions, one would experience endless loneliness and solitude.

During those three years abroad, she would hide in her room all day during those two holidays without coming out.

She missed China, her mom and dad, and her home.

However, it seemed like Steve Burton didn’t hear what Ruby Gregory said at all. He entered the password for his front door by himself, reached out, and opened the door.

He didn’t close the door but stood in the foyer area to take off his shoes.

His movements were slow, and he waited until Ruby Gregory dawdled to the front entrance before bending down to put his shoes on the shoe rack beside him. He slowly turned around and reached out to close the door.

Ruby Gregory reflexively reached out, holding the door against her, and said through the half-open door to Steve Burton inside, “If you want to punish someone, punish me. I can leave Pristine’s Enterprises.”

Steve said that he himself had spoiled Madeleine, so if she left Pristine’s Enterprises, there would be less contact between them.

As Steve Burton inside the house heard Ruby Gregory say she would leave Pristine’s Enterprises, his eyes darkened abruptly, and he directly increased the strength in his hands.

Ruby Gregory’s strength was no match for Steve Burton. Despite pushing the door with all her strength, she could still see it closing slowly. In the urgency, she said, “How about this? You let Madeleine stay in Ciawell, and I will go abroad. I’ll go in her place.”

Steve Burton’s strength in his hands disappeared instantly, like air leaking from a punctured balloon.

Ruby Gregory put in a little too much effort and pushed the door wide open.

Ruby Gregory hesitated and then gently furrowed her eyebrows. Had Steve Burton agreed to her proposition?

Then she felt a sense of heaviness in her heart that she couldn’t explain.

Did Steve Burton want her to go abroad?

Indeed, how could he possibly want to see her every day when he hates and despises her so much?

She couldn’t explain why, but Ruby Gregory felt suffocated. She looked up at Steve Burton, who was much taller than her, and after a long time, she moved her lips to say, “I promise I won’t come back without your permission.”

As soon as Ruby Gregory finished speaking, Steve Burton, who was standing in the foyer area, reached out and slammed the door shut forcefully..
